Art
Navarro College has many options for the student who chooses to study art. Each course is taught by qualified and experienced professional artists and educators. We offer the student all of the required foundation courses along with some very interesting fine arts electives, such as painting, photography and ceramics.
There are full exhibition facilities in Caston Hall. During the year we are host to a variety of shows including one of faculty from another college in our exchange exhibit. Students are encouraged to display their work and are given guidance in learning professional mounting of shows and portfolio preparation.
The Art Club is quite active during the year with fund-raising for future scholarship awards their focus. Everyone in art is welcomed to join.
Each semester heralds its own special event. During the fall semester we have the Halloween Extravaganza. In addition to the exhibition of recent work, the Art Club constructs its lengendary Haunted House. The proceeds earned from this fun event go into the Scholarship Fund. The Annual Art and Scholarship Show follows during the Spring Semester.
Museum facilities are located right here on Campus! We are lucky to have ready access to the Pearce Western Art Collection located in the Cook Center along with their Artist in Residence Programs. We also take field trips at least once a semester to museums in either Dallas or Fort Worth.
Whether a student elects to earn an Associate Degree or continue his/her studies with a transfer to a four-year college, he or she can be assured of receiving a quality education in Fine Arts.
